A decapitated head has been discovered in Bali, believed to have belonged to 28-year-old Igor Komarov, the son of a Ukrainian “criminal kingpin,” according to reports.

How did we get here? It’s a wild ride, so buckle up.

Allegedly, Komarov was kidnapped by a group of men on February 15th while scootering through Bali’s popular tourist area, Jimbaran. It’s purported that the kidnappers found the Ukrainian’s location via social media posts from his girlfriend, fashion influencer Yeva Mishalova. Then, after the capture, they requested a $10 million ransom.

An unverified video surfaced, supposedly showing Komarov beat up and pleading to his father, businessman and alleged “criminal kingpin” Oleksandr “Narik” Petrovsky. The video was circulated on Telegram, with Komarov stating:

“Mummy, Daddy, I beg you, help me please, you stole those ten million, which they ask for, return these ten million please. They already chopped off some of my limbs, I have broken legs [and they] punched [my] rib cage. An infection will start soon. I’m just dying.

“Bring me home, what[ever] is left of me at the moment, please settle with these people, they need ten million dollars, which we stole. As soon as these ten million are received in their accounts, they will immediately let me go to the place where they took me. I beg you, please. Please settle. I’ll give you everything back, I’ll work for it, I will give you everything, please. No gangsters will help you, no cops … Do not communicate with any other people.”
